Which famous lord did shakespeare name his acting group after?
Shakespeare did not name the acting group he belonged to. Elizabethan theatre groups did not name themselves; they were required by law to have a noble or royal patron and the theatre group took its name from that person. If the patron changed his title, the name of the company changed; if the patron was replaced by someone else (as happened with the company Shakespeare belonged to) then the name of the company changed. Even if the theatre company has some say in what they were called, and they didn't, Shakespeare was not the leader of the company. The brothers Richard and Cuthbert Burbage were the leaders. The patrons of the company were Henry Carey, the Lord Chamberlain and King James I.
What is the name of Shakespeares theater?
After Shakespeare joined the Lord Chamberlain's men in 1594, their home was a theatre called The Theatre. However, the owners of the building (the acting family of the Burbages) and the owners of the land got into a dispute and in 1597, the Theatre was closed. They moved to a different playhouse nearby called The Curtain while the dispute dragged on. Finally the Burbages with some of their friends came onto the land and took The Theatre down and moved its timbers to a space south of the river in an area called Southwark. They built a new theatre called The Globe in 1599. In order to finance it, the Burbages took on a group of partners from among the players in the company, including Shakespeare. Later, in 1608, The Lord Chamberlain's men (who by that time were called The King's Men) began to play also in an indoor theatre called the Blackfriars which the Burbages had bought some time earlier.
